That's right, it's finally time for my long-awaited (and until now) untitled "Cliff House" documentary to get a name.
I've been toying around with ideas for some time. It seemed there were so many options, and yet nothing quite seemed to stick. I searched far and wide and all around for some witty restaurant terminology, some funny reference that would fit just nicely. But it never came.
It seemed the only option was to go the natural way, and let it come to me. And it did. After hours and hours of editing, a simple line spoken near the end seemed to capture the essence of what this little movie was all about. It was personal and intimate. The words spoken by former manager, Chris Volker while in his last few days in the industry, working the one job anyone who'd spent 35 years in the business wouldn't want to find themselves doing: washing dishes.
So, to quote from the great C.V., the title of my movie:
"While We Worked: A behind-the-scenes documentary on the lives of restaurant workers"
What'd ya think? A little obvious? I hope so.
P.S. Look out for a Facebook fan page, as well as official website to pop up soon with more info, photos, trailers, and release dates(!)
I think it works perfectly well. I don't know if I can really base this on what it formally was, but having the 'behind the scenes' part and the Restaurant workers it follows that sounds more interesting. At least as a grabber inthe sense of curious people wanting to see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks man! That was definitely the thought behind it.
